Kodiak's Community-Inspired Indie Bookstore
ABOUT THE ISLANDER

Find Your Next Great Novel or Gift at the Bookstore

Living on an island, we all know the feeling of frustration when searching for your next good book or a perfect gift, especially when you need it now.  You end up sending your hard earned money off the island to big name companies and pay extra for rush shipping to get it here in time.

The Islander Bookshop brings new books and gifts to our island community every season so the selection is always being updated.

You'll find a unique gift, a gift card, and your next great read at the moment that you need it.  Every time you purchase locally you help create the community in which you want to live.

Adorable bookstore with a large selection of new and used books. Along with the books they have a bunch of comfy seating, free WiFi and good coffee and yummy treats for sale. I highly recommend trying the Andes mints brownies if they have them. They were DELICIOUS!

Brilliant local shop. The employee was welcoming and friendly. Yes they had books but they also had the best local tea. Seriously that tea was delicious. I am coming back for more. The store also had hand made soaps and other regional fares. Simply a great store with smiling faces.
